Application filed August 19, 1884. Serial No. 140,929. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH ARNOLD GROEB- LI, a resident of the city of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented an Improved Embroidering-lvlachine,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of the central portion of an embroidering-machine,showing my improvement.

Fig. 14. is a sectional view on the plane of the 5 line as m, Fig. 10. Fig. 15 is a crosssection on the plane of the line i y, Fig. 14. Fig. 1, Sheet 1, is a detailed face view showing the carriage in contact with one of the elbow-levers s.

0 This invention relates to enibroidering-ma chines of the class in which two reciprocating carriages are employed, one on each side of the vertically-suspended fabric,and one set of double-pointed needles that are moved by said 5 carriages alternately.

The principal object of the invention is to make thatpart of the outward movement of each carriage which is performed in the immediate vicinity of the vertically-suspended 5o fabric automatic, so that the attendant will only have to move the carriage by hand, if at all, after it has already been partly moved away from the fabric, together with the needles which it has grasped. Another object is to cause the carriages to grasp and release the 5 5 needles automatically.

The invention consists in the new combination of parts and their new arrangement, that is hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawings, the letterArepresents the frame-work of the embroidering-machine- B and C are the two carriages traveling on rails or a, which are part of the framing A. Each of these carriages supports and carries with it one or more sets of needle-grips, I), the carriage B in Fig. 1 being shown to be provided with two such needlegrips b, one above and the other below the rails a. The fabric, which is vertically suspended in the usual manner of placing it in embroidering-machines,or in any suitable manner, between. these carriages B and O, is indicated at. D in Fig. 1. Each carriage is, by suitable lugs, d, united to a separate endless belt, E, which passes over two drums that are hung in the frame A, one of said drums at the outer end of each belt E not being shown in the drawings, the inner drums being indicated at F and G in Fig. 1--that is to say, there is aseparate belt or set of belts, E,for each of the carriages. The belt E for the carriage 0 passes around the drum G, and the belt E for the carriage B around the drum F. Either carriage can be reciprocated on its track a by turning the drum and moving the belt With which it is connected. The drums F and G. by preference, have teeth or prongs, as indicated in Figs. 2 and 9, so that they will properly take hold of their respective belts,which may be perforated to match said teeth. On the same shafts which carry these drums F 0 and G are mounted toothed Wheels 0 andf,respectively, which are intended to mesh, one at a time, into a toothed wheel, 9, that is always in gearwith a pinion, h, which can be turned by a orank'handle, i. In the position 5 of the parts shown in Fig. 1, by turning the crank-handle i the wheel 9 will be revolved, and that wheel being, in said position, in gear with the wheel 6, the drum F will be turned and the carriage B moved in the desired di- 10o rection; but the wheel 9 revolves on a stud which is secured to a strong metal frame or bar, H, which, at j, is pivoted to the frame A of the machine, so that by vibrating this bar H on its pivot j the toothed Wheel 9 can either be brought in gear with the pinion e, as in Fig. 1, or with the pinion f, as indicated in Fig. 3.

The true object of the mechanism hereinafter to be described is, first, to automatically throw the wheel 9 into gear with the drum of the carriage that was stationary when the other carriage arrives next to the fabric 3 secondly,to automatically loosen the needle-grips on the carriage that arrives next the fabric on its way from a greater distance; and, thirdly, to start the carriage,which was stationary and which now takes the needles afresh, automatically on its travel away from the fabric. Thus the operator will have nothing to do but to turn the crank *5 from time to time, so as to move a carriage that had already begun its outward movement away from the fabric until the threads are taut, and then back to the fabric until the needles shall have pierced the fabric and have been entered into the needlegrips of the other carriage, and then to move the other carriage in like manner.

In order to perform the functions above 'statedautomaticall'y, it is in the first instance essential that the'frame H should be swung on its pivot j automatically from time to time. To do this the lower end of the said bar or frame H connects by a rod, Z, with the crank-pin m that is placed on a disk, I, which disk is mounted upon a shaft, R, that is hung in a framing, J. The disk I has two notches, 019, on opposite sides of its periphery, and is capable of being geared with a driving-wheel, L. This driving-wheel may either be a toothed wheel, in which case the wheel I would also be toothed to mesh into it, or preferably the driving-whee1 L is grooved and ribbed, as shown in Figs. 7 and 10, to engage ribs and grooves along the edge of the disk I. Continuous motion is imparted to the wheel L by a belt and pulley connecting with the shaft Q, upon which said wheel L is mounted, and continuous rotary motion would thereby also be imparted 'to the disk I and to another similar disk, M, which is also mounted upon a shaft, U, which has its bearings in the framing J, and which is also in gear with the wheel Land which, has also two diametrically opposite notches, q

1, were it not for these notches, which, when they arrive next the wheel L, the motion of the disk being then arrested, prevent it from turning the disk so notched any farther until mechanism which I will now describe is brought into play. Each carriage B 0, when it arrives next the fabric, strikes an elbow-le- 'ver, 8, of which there are two, hung in the framing A. Each of the elbow-levers s has one arm in the way of one of the carriages,=

-1ution,in its usual direction.

elbows s. This rod it, when both its ends are lifted so that it arrives in a substantially-horizontal position, willswing another elbow, to, so as to carry a prong which the latter carries, and which is marked '0, against the adjustable shoulder 20, which is preferably composed of twojam-nuts, on a sliding bolt, N, moving said bolt then in the direction of the arrow 1, Fig. 3. By so moving this bolt it is pulled away from under a shoulder, 00, on an upright rod, 0, and said rod 0 is allowed to be pulled down by a spring, 1, (see Figs. 1 and 2,)or equivalent weight, the upper end of which spring bears against a fixed projection, y

It is essential to a full understanding of the invention to observe that the rod 0 should be lowered by this spring y only when both carriages B and O are in closest possible proximity to the fabric D, and therefore when both of them have actually swung the two elbow-levers s s sufficiently to pull the bolt N away from under the shoulder 00. YVhile either one of the carriages is traveling, the bolt N will hold the rod 0 in the lifted position, and only when both are nearest the fabric will the rod 0 be allowed to be lowered. The bolt N is connected with the spring .2, which will shoot it back into its place under the shoulder as of the rod 0 as soon as the said rod 0 shall be lifted by mechanism which I will hereinafter describe. In orderto enable the spring Z to shoot the bolt Nvback as soon as rod 0 is raised, and before either carriage begins to move, the bolt is made vertically movable, to disengage .its shoulder to from the prong v. To this end the bolt is slightly raised by the elbow to and a projecting arm, (1 to such a height as will allow the prong 12 to pass un der the shoulder w, whereupon the springZ will. throw the boltN against the rod 0 again. The rod 0: connects at its lower part with an elbow-lever, a, which, by a. rod, b connects with a notched arm, P, which is loose on the shaft Q, of the wheel L,and which is'shown in a detailed view, Fig. 12. Before therod b waspushed to thus swing the notched arm 1?, said notched arm engaged over a pin, 01*, on the disk I, and thereby prevented said disk, which at this stage also p resents its notch said notched arm P is lifted off the pin d, and

thereupon a spring, 6, which embraces the shaft It upon which the disk I is mounted,will slightly turn the disk I in the direction of the arrow shown on it in Fig. ll far enough, in

fact, to carry the notched part 0 of said disk away'from the wheel L, allowing the wheel L, which is constantly turning in the direction of the arrow shown on it in Fig. 11, to again take hold of the disk I and turn it half a revo- While this halfrevolution of this disk I is taking place-that is to say, until the'notch 19 becomes aligned with the driving-wheel La pin, f which projects from the face of the disk I at a point that isdiametrically opposite to the pin cl", is brought against a star-wheel, S, that is hung loose on the shaft Q, and, striking said starwheel, turns it partly around, thereby bringing another arm or prong of the star-wheel to bear upon the end of a lever, T, the center of which is hung loose upon the shaft U, upon which the disk M is mounted. The disk M corresponds in every way with the disk I, has also projecting pins d f, notches q r, and has a spring, 0 which connects at one end with the said disk M and at the other end with said lever T At the time the star-wheel S strikes the lever T, which hangs on the shaft U, the disk M is stationary, having its notch r near the wheel L and its pinf caught by a notched bar, V, having upper arm, 9 and lower arm, and which turns loose on the shaft Q, as shown in Fig. 11; and hence the star wheel S, striking the lever T on shaft U, winds the spring 6 on the shaft U sufficiently to strain it, so that when afterward the lower arm, of the notched bar V is moved away from the pin f thissaid spring being wound, as stated, will start the disk M on its revolution sufficiently far to carry the notch r away from the wheel L to enable the wheel L to engage with and positively turn the disk M during its next half-revolution.

But I will now resume the description of the disk I asit completesits first half-revolutionthat is to say, the projecting pinf of that disk, after having struck the star wheel S and turned it, as stated, strikes the upper projection, g, of the notched bar V, pushing it aside so as to carry the lower arm, of said notched bar away from the pin f of the disk M, and then, (the rod 0 being by this time again raised,) as the notched arm P is now in the position shown in Fig. 11, said notched arm P arrests the pin f of the disk I at the same moment that the notchp of the disk I arrives opposite the driving-wheel L, so that now the disk I both carriages l3 and O in their position nearsaid pins in manner described.

I have shown how the disk I makes one halfrevolution and how it started the disk M on;

its half revolution'by taking the restrainingarm V off the pin f of the disk M and allowing the spring e, connected with disk M, to start the disk M into gear with the wheel L.

which is shown in Fig. 11, thereby causing it to swing the arm T, which is on the shaft B,

into the position shown in Fig. 11, thus straining or winding the spring 6," which encircles the shaft R sufliciently to cause it to start the disk I on its next halfrevolution as soon as the crank P is moved to permit it. Thus I have shown that thewheel L, being constantly turned, will serve to impart half a revolution first to one and then to the other of the disks I M, whereupon said disks I M have their movements again arrested until the rod 0 is again lowered.

I have already stated that the wheel L may be an ordinary gear-wheel, but that Iprefer it in the ribbed construction, which is shown in edge view, Fig. 10, and more clearly sectionally in Fig. 7. As to its detailedconstruction, it appears from Fig. 7 that said wheel L is made in two parts, h i each of which carries part of the ribbed circumference of said wheel. The two said parts are screwed together, as shown in Fig. 7, and enable me,when the ribs have become worn, to tighten them against the ribs of the disks I M by screwing the parts h i closer together.

The half-revolution of the wheel I is made use of for moving the rod l that engages with the frame'or bar H back and forth, thereby oscillating said frame or bar H on its pivot j and bringing its toothed wheel 9 alternately into contact with the wheels 6 and f'that is to say, when the wheel I is turned so as to bring the point of connection between it and the rod Zfarthest from the shaft Q, as in Fig. 1, the frame H will be so swung as to bring the wheels 6 and g in gear; but when the wheel I is so turned as to bring its point of connection with the bar Z nearest to the shaft Q, then the bar or frame H will be so swung as to bring the wheels f and g in gear with each other, as indicated in Fig. 3. Now, of course, whichever of the wheels, eorf, isin gear the carriage connected therewith can be moved while the other carriage will remain stationary.

The movement of the bar or frame H on its p ivotj is also utilized for lifting the rod Ointo re-engagement with the bolt N. This is done i by toggle-levers a which connect atthe'lower is stopped and cannot again be moved until the rod 0 is again lowered by the arrival of end with the frame A at the middle by a link, (H, with the vibrating frame II, and 011 top with j a sleeve, b which encircles the rod 0 loosely est the fabric D. A spring, .9 1), (shown in: Fig. 11,) connects one end of the notched arm I V with the stationary frame, and serves to throw the said notched arm V against the pins d and 1 whenever said arm is not moved offv beneath a shoulder, a", thereon. Whenever the rod H is swung from one position to another, it elongates the toggle and lifts the rod 0, and then contracts the toggle again. As soon as the rod 0 is lifted,the bolt N is by the spring Z shot under the shoulder X to hold the rod 0 in its raised position. The halfrevolution of. the other disk M is made use of for starting the carriage which is to move automatically on its travel away from the fabric 1). To this end the disk M is connected by a wrist- -pin with a rod,W' which at its upper end connects with alever, A that is hung loose on the axis of'the wheel 9, and that carries at its upper part an anchor, B, which is pivoted thereto, and which is forked at the upper end of its shank n, as indicated in Figs. 8 and 9, and straddles'a rod, 0 which is pivoted at 7' to the frame A of the machine, and which ICC its upper end swung to the left, and therebycarries the anchor-bearing lever A, whose pivot lies in the frame or bar H, to the' left also, until the forked shank n of the anchor strikes the stop 7c,whereupon,by contact with said stop, the anchor is tilted on its own pivot to bring its claw at between two of the teeth of the wheel 9, substantially as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 5. The disk I then stops, and the disk M begins its half-revolution,

pulling during such motion on the rod Wand swinging the lever A and with it the anchor B,to the right, thereby turning the wheel gin the direction of the arrow 4, Fig. 5. The

wheel 9 being at this time in gear with the wheel e causes, by such partial turning, said wheel eto be turned in the direction of the arrow 5, which is shown in Fig. 5, and thereby the carriage B is automatically started on its outward movement. The operator then takes hold of the crank-handle t and revolves the wheels h, g, and 6, so as to first move the carriageB far enough outward to draw the threads taut, and then reverses the rotation so as to bring the carriage B close to the fabric D again. Fig. 1 shows the position of all the parts after the outward movement of the carriage B has been begun, and after the claw m has turned the wheel 9 automatically. As the carriage B now returns to the fabric D its frame strikes the elbows nearest it, and raises thereby the rodt into the horizontal position, so as thereby to draw the boltN and drop the rod 0 and start the disks I M on another halfrevolution. The disk I in now being turned will first swing the frame or bar H with its upper end to the right, so as to carry the wheel 9 into gear-with the wheel f, and at the same time will also carry the lever A to the right until the shank n of the anchor B strikes the stop Z and throws the claw n in engagement with the wheel g, as indicated by full lines in Fig. 5. Now,the disk M, beginning to turn, pushes the rod'W and throws the lever A from the position shown by full lines in Fig. 5 into the position shown by full lines in Fig. 3, and while this is being done the anchor turns the wheel 9 in the direction opposite to that shown by the arrow 4 in Fig. 5, and thereby turns the wheel f in thedirection of the arrow 6 in Fig. 5, thus starting the carriage O automatically on its outward motion. Whenever the anchor B has turned the wheel gin the manner stated, it is, by its connection with the rod 0', swung on its pivot sufficiently to disengage the claw that turned the wheel from the latter. Thus in Fig. 3 it is shown so disengaged, and thus the apparatus continues to operate in the manner already described.

Each carriage B O is provided, as has already been stated, with aset of needle-holders, b, which are of the usual construction. Fig. 6 shows one'of these needle-holders in an enlarged view. It is composed of a bed, 0 and of a spring-lever, 19 the latter holding the needle g Upon this spring-lever bears aneccentric, 7", which is mounted upon the pivot s of a jointed lever, D The pivot s? has its bearings in the bracket that is fixed to the carriage, as is indicated on the left-hand side of Fig. 1. The lower end of the vertical part of the jointed lever D has a projecting pin, t, which, when the carriage arrives next to the fabric, enters a fork, M on a vertical slide, E, which slide now is moved up to push the jointed lever D upward, and thereby turn the pivot s and the eccentrics r, so that the latter bear on the levers p and opens the needleholding device, as is indicated on the righthand side of Fig. 1.

It remains to show how the'slides E are raised and lowered. To this end each of the slides E is at its lower end joined to an elbowlever, F, which is pivoted in the frame A of the machine. The two elbow-levers F are at their upper ends connected to a yoke, G (see Fig. 1,) which at v is connected to the frame or bar H. When this frame or bar has its lower end swung to the right, asin Fig. 1, the elbow F beneath the carriage G is vibrated on its pivot, so as' to raise its slide E and the jointed lever D, connected therewith, thus disengaging the needles that were held in the carriage 0. It will be perceived that this is done-at the time the frame H is swung, so as to throw the wheels 9 and e into gear. At the same time the other slide E is lowered by having its elbow F swung accordingly, and the needle-holders on the carriage B are tightened to enable them to take hold of the needles which are being released from the carriage C. When, afterward, the bar or frame H is swung with its lower end to the left, the slide E" beneath the carriage O is lowered and that beneath the carriage B raised, so as to disengage the needles from the carriage B and cause them to be held by the carriage O.
